Various compiz plug-ins (e.g. resize info, resize window, grid, grab
handles, etc.) use coloured visual elements (e.g. resizing rectangles,
info/title labels and grab targets) to acheive their desired effect.

At present, all of these plug-ins allow the user to manually select the
colours of these various visual elements. It would be preferable,
however, for these plug-ins to draw this information (automatically)
from the systems colour scheme/theme (varying alpha transparency, hue,
saturation, etc. from a base colour defined in the system colour
scheme/theme as necessary). I user override would still be desirable,
but the user should not need to manually reconfigure each and every such
plug-in whenever they change colour scheme/theme.

An cogent example; A default installation of Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric
Ocelot) comes preconfigured with (broadly) orange coloured visual
elements. This suits the default Ubuntu 11.10 colour scheme/theme very
well. However, where a user to switch to a custom colour scheme/theme,
such orange visual elements might look out of place. They certainly do
with my currently preferred colour scheme/theme, eGTK (from
elementaryOS).

To surmise, a more consistent and possibly centralised approach (with
the option of per plug-in user overrides) to colour scheme management
and its application to compiz plug-ins would be desirable.
